Pulp Fiction
Words: 1646 / Pages: 6 .... the two boys who stole the suitcase play the role of the Devil, as do
the drugs, and they were almost the downfall of the whole attempt.
The movie wasted no time in introducing the first biblical reference
when the two men try to retrieve the suitcase containing Wallace's belongings.

under circumstances more pleasant for me to remember than this.” One can

and typical of the era. The Slave Ship, another painting by Turner,
further proves this.
The placement, or the view of the abbey, is also inaccurate. In
the poem Wordsworth describes the abbey as being in a river valley, with
rivers and streams surrounding it. It also implies that the building is

Words: 1668 / Pages: 7 .... is the fact that all of the gender roles are extremely well defined and strictly enforced. The fact that women played such traditional roles in the show might anger some viewers of today. However, if analyzed a bit closer, the show can be seen as a prelude to the women’s movement that would follow decades later. If the show were just about how life was in the 50’s, it would not be as popular as it is today. Imagine Lucy Ricardo, being the typical housewife of that time, where all she did was stay at home and take care of the baby while cooking Ricky’s dinner.
